Maybe I lack imagination, but I just can't figure out what I'd use this for. I'm finding AI helpful in writing code (especially verbose Unreal Engine C++ code) as a companion to my designs, but, I really don't want it using my computer. I dunno, I guess the other use case would be summarizing slack or discord but otherwise this seems to me like a solution in search of a problem.
I feel the same way, the AI browsers and the Agentic team of agents stuff I just really dont understand why I would want it. I use AI every day but theres always a clear separation, as in I'm using it to get an output I want, not getting it to use things for me. It screws up the output maybe 30% of the time, so why would I risk it actually being able to do things and touch stuff I care about.
Going on an old legacy website, downloading reports, summarizing them, and then doing things based on those
Or basically any app without MCP capabilities
I ask the AI daily to summarize information across surfaces, and it's painful when I have to go screenshot things myself in a bunch of places because those apps were not made to extract information out of them, and are complete black boxes with a UI on top
Feels like a lot of summarizing, which is just something I rarely need. YMMV depending on your job of course.
